We love coffee. And we love a good TV show. And we REALLY love coffee featured on a good TV show. Let’s take a look at some shows that regularly highlight a cup of joe.
Friends — Central Perk was a regular part of the series featuring characters Ross, Chandler, Joey, Monica, Phoebe and Rachel handling life’s problems over a cup of coffee. And who can forget Phoebe’s ongoing gig as the live entertainment belting out such classics as “Smelly Cat” and “My Sticky Shoes” for the customers.
Twin Peaks — Quirky Special Agent Dale Cooper was always asking for a cup of coffee and a piece of pie. That’s pretty much the most normal thing that happens on this show!
Frasier — Pompous but lovable radio psychiatrist Frasier spends lots of time hanging out
having an espresso at Cafe Nervosa with his radio producer co-worker Roz, obsessive compulsive brother Niles and occasionally his down-to-earth, retired police officer father.
LIVE with Regis and Kathy Lee, LIVE with Regis and Kelly, LIVE with Kelly and Michael, etc… – It wouldn’t be an early morning talk show if the talent didn’t have a nice hot cup of coffee in hand.
Law and Order — The officers of Law and Order are frequently shown sipping coffee from styrofoam cups as they go about their business. And you’ll see the chief with a mug in hand every so often.
TV reflects culture, and coffee is most definitely a mainstay. Did we miss any of your favorites?
